Every day, people are reaching their get-up-or-give-up moments and resolving to change. And they're realizing that running is the simplest, cheapest, and most effective way to lose weight, gain confidence, and relieve stress. For newcomers, the obstacles are fierce. There are fears of pain and embarrassment. There are schedules jam-packed with stressful jobs, long commutes, endless meetings, and sticky-fingered toddlers. The Runner's World Big Book of Running for Beginners provides all the information neophytes need to take their first steps, as well as inspiration for staying motivated. The book presents readers with tips for smart nutrition and injury prevention that enable beginning runners to achieve gradual progress (by gearing up for a 30-minute run, a 5-K, or even a 5-miler). Above all, it shows newbies just how fun and rewarding the sport can be, thanks to the help of several "real runner" testimonials.
“If you have ever contemplated running, this is the book for you...In 266 pages you will find your personal running coach...speaking words founded on conventional wisdom and practical experience, empathy and encouragement, success and failure.” —Rutland Herald

She simplified the complexities among food, fuel, and performance in the pages of habit-changing Sweat. Eat. Repeat., performance-forward Run to Lose, and as a contributor to various nutrition books, running-focused reads, and athlete go-to cookbooks.
